Of all the senses, the olfactory is the one that strikes me the most. How do smell and taste make perfume? How do our nerves make nuances, subtle, sublime interprets of that which we cannot see, cannot hear, cannot write about with words?Smell would be like a soul, immaterial.

Objects return our gazes look for look. They seem indifferent to us because we look on them indifferently. But for the eye that sees clearly, everything is a mirror; for a sincere and mindful observer, everything is profound.
